The general object of our present invention is the provision of a bedding plow at-' to be used in any kind of land and in any kind of weather and constructed so-that the .plow as a unit can be raised clear of the ground and so thatthe plow can be accommodated to hill sidesand also constructed with a view to operating "efficiently .in making a complete bed, incident to each round trip; the disks forming light furrows, and the middle buster throwing the middle.

Other objects and practical advantages of the invention will'be fully understood from the following description and claims when the same are read in connection with the drawings, accompanying and forming part of this specification, in which I Figure 1 is a view showing the preferred embodiment of our invention in side eleva-.

tion as properly arrangedrelative to a well known type of tractor. I

Figure 2 is a plan view of the same.

Figure 3 the tractor and the improvement.

The tractor illustrated is designated by 1 and is in general of the same construction as a well known type of tractor at present on the market.

Our invention contemplates the employment in connection with the tractor 1 of a double buster plow 2, and disks 3, the plow and disks being relatively arranged as illustrated for the purpose indicated and being carried by a T-shaped frame 4 which is preferably of cast iron.

At 5 is a segmental rack adjacent to which is a hand lever 6, having a detent 7 for cooperation with the said rack 5 in adjustably fixing the lever in position. It will also be noticed the lever 6 and a second lever 8 are arranged in convenient proximity to the drivers seat 9 of the tractor.

Pivotally connected at 10 to the lever 6 and extending rearwardly therefrom is a rod 11. on which is a fixed abutment 12 for one end of an expansion spring 13, the other and rear end of which bears against an abutment 14 in rear of which are nuts 15 in threaded engagement with the rear portion of the rod..

At the rear end of its body the tractor 1 is provided with an apertured draw bar 15", and on the said draw bar 15 is connected at is a rear elevation illustrating- 15 a horizontal bar 15 that is connected bars 16 with opposite sides of the tractor body. At ltSGIlClS the bar 15 is provided with rearwardly and downwardly extending arms 17 and on the-bar 15 at 1'8 are uprights between which and opposite sides of the tractor body are interposed and connect. ed longitudinal bars 18. At the right hand end of a transverse rod 18 is bar18", Figure 1 to'which is connected a clamp 30 which surrounds the rear axle/3O of the tractor. The segmental rack 5 is fixed with respect to said bar 18? and the hand lever 6 is pivotedto saidbar 18? as designated by 18 The said transverse rod 18 is arranged in and supported by thebefore mentioned apparatus 18.011 the -bar:15. 1'

Mounted to swing forwardly and rearwardlyon the transverse rod 18 is a frame.

18", Figure 3, on; which is an arm 19 which carries the before mentioned abutment 14. The frame 18 also carries arm's 19 and pivotally connected between thesaid arms 19 is a link 20, the rear end of which is pivotally connected to the rear portion of the T- shaped frame 4, the beam 2 of the plow 2 is pivoted at 2 to uprights on the frame 4, and the rear portion of the link 20 is bifurcated as shown so as beam 2*.

Interposed' between tending portion 17 on the transverse-bar. 15 is a transverse frame 20 having pendent arms 21 connected at 21 to the said por-' tionsl7.

A segmental rack 22is fixed to the frame 20*, and the lever 8 is fulcrumed at 23 on said frame and is provided with a detent 24 to straddle the said the rearwardly eX- I for cooperation with the rack 22. The said lever 8 is connected by a link 25 with one end of the head or forward portion of the T-shaped frame 4. In this connection it will be understood that the opposed portions of the T-shaped frame 4 and the frame 20 are pivotallyconnected by a longitudinal tractor is high or low, the entire plow can be leveled to the row orthe ground irrespective of the position of the tractor.

Manifestly when the lever 6iis moved forwardly, the frame 4 and the parts carried thereby and connected therewith will be moved upwardly, and by adjustably fixing the lever 6 the plow 2 and the disks 3 may be maintained clear of the ground.

Notwithstanding connections between the frame 4 and the lever 6, it will be understood that the spring 13 and the parts 00- operating therewith constitute a shock absorber which is adapted to enable the disks to climb or pass over stumps and other large obstructions in their paths.

In this connection it will be understood that upward movement of the frame 4 will be attended by forward movement of the frame 18 and its arm 19 and forward movement of said arm 19 will be cushioned or resisted bythe cooperation between the abutment l4 and the spring 13.

With the exception of the T-shaped frame 4 all of the parts of our improvement may be and preferably are formed of steel.

It will be apparent from the foregoing that our improvement is susceptible of being expeditiously and easily adjusted so as to operate to the best advantage, and that when the tractor equipped with our improvement embodiment.

is operated two furrows will be listed through the arm of the disks 8, equalling two light furrows to a bed, while the buster 2 will throw out the middle.

Vi e have'specilioally described the preferred embodiment of our invention in order to impart an exact understanding of saic l/Ve do not desire, however, to be understood as confining ourselves to the specific construction and relative arrangement of parts as disclosed, our invention be ing defined by our appended claim within the scope of which structural changes can be made without departure from our inven-- tion. 7

Having described ourinvention, what we claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent,

A plow attachment comprising a T-shaped frame, disks carried at opposite sides there of, and a double plow also carried by said frame, and disoos'edbetween the said disks; the said plow having a beam extending forwardly above the frame and pivotally connected therewith whereby the plow is adapted to swing upwardly relative to the frame.

In testimony whereof we our signatures. I v I NOEL DEWETT NEYVTON. JAMES ARTLUR lIEi/VTON.
